Chopped some bamboo from the yard, and decided to get creative. The beginnings of Omaha's new hut! He should be a happy little Sully!ImageUploadedByTortForum1374879955.756503.jpg

Great idea ... can't wait to see the outcome. I actually belong to the Bamboo Society here in So. Cal …I have been collecting it for about 25 years. Through moves and house changes I made sure I always took some cuttings of anything I put into the ground. At current I have approx 7 different varieties , but at one point had about 15 different kinds. A really cool plant to work with in hardscape designs , as a structural material , even fine carpentry. And the good ol’ 70s’ bamboo bong! :p
Looking forward to see the final results … keep us posted!

LOVE the irony of your screen name, Lisa Turtle! In fact, I think I've seen someone on here with the name Screech!

And that stuff is strong! Looking forward to pics.

Every muscle in my body can attest to its strength after today's chopping!
